Children’s Asylum Centre ‘too welcoming’ 😢

He must have a very low opinion of the people of this country if he thinks we will applaud such a mean spirited act.

Not physically, I should add 😯

I saw his picture in my link and really would like to wipe the smirk off his smug face
🤬

Absolutely abhorrent 🤬🤬🤬

Unaccompanied, traumatised children mustn't be made to feel welcomed and safe?

Guy Venables, cartoonist and illustrator said:
“Jenrick’s decision to censor artwork for children is a baffling display of astonishing, pointless cruelty,” Venables says. “In response, my offer is simple. We will go the centre and do another mural. A huge one. A mural illustrated by many of the country's best cartoonists and illustrators. Jenrick might, just might, think twice about vandalising several professional national cartoonist's work just to deny a vulnerable child something fun to look at.”

I can only imagine how the people who work there must feel.
They must be absolutely livid.

The Tories (or the more lunatic of their number) really are weaponising immigration.

Do they really think that this is going to go down well with the public??

Lone children in a foreign country and the Home Office doesn't want to be 'too welcoming'. 😢😢😢

I'd understand providing basic accommodation but removing a mural that is already there!!! It's plain nasty.

What a foul and spiteful demand. What a slap in the face for the people who painted the murals. What a horrible thing to say.
